Holy Week Celebrations in Brazil

We pray that Jesus would continually manifest His great love and power in your lives. Easter is a time for remembering...a time for thanking...a time for celebrating Jesus' victory on the cross. It's also a time to be strengthend as we reflect on what Christ's ressurection means for those who trust Him today -"we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us ." May your fellowship with Him and with other believers be special this Easter!

Our celebration began last weekend with the presentation of our outdoor Passion Play at the ARCA. This year we had 70 people in the cast and about 500 spectators. The weather was beautiful and it was a wonderful way for us to relive some scenes from Jesus' life and ministry, culminating in His death on the cross and His glorious ressurection from the dead! Hallelujah! Wed., Thurs. and Fri. the choir from Curitiba presented an Easter cantata in three of our four churches which was also a special time of remembering and worship. Easter will be another celebration day as we meet for worship once again.
